Pulling away for good in the second half, Panathinaikos Aktor routed AEK Betsson, 101-80, in Sunel Arena on Sunday.
Omer Yurtseven was a late scratch due to neck discomfort. He joined Kostas Antetokounmpo (calf), Lorenzo Brown (foot), Marius Grigonis (back surgery), and Mathias Lessort (leg surgery) on the list of unavailable players for the head coach Ergin Ataman.
Team captain Kostas Sloukas (calf) returned to action in Round 14 of Greece’s Stoiximan GBL Regular Season. Lasting 15 minutes, he paired nine points with five assists.
All five starters produced double-digit scoring displays, including Cedi Osman firing in 20 points, a new personal best for the 2024-25 campaign, behind 7/12 field goals, including four three-pointers. Kendrick Nunn stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
Lithuanian forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas (back) was sidelined for the team coached by Dragan Sakota. On Saturday, former Old Dominion player Alfis Pilavios was released from his contract. The 25-year-old Greek forward had a limited role in the domestic league and the Basketball Champions League over the last two years.
